TL;DR
- Fitbit is developing an experimental, generative AI feature called “Plan for Care.”
- The feature could seemingly analyze symptoms to suggest possible conditions and urgency, and create a prep sheet for doctor visits.
- The feature could be restricted to legal adults in the US whenever it initially rolls out.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about a doctor’s visit, you’re not alone. Many of us feel the same: We’re either too nervous to recount all our symptoms and miss details, or don’t know enough to ask the right questions after a diagnosis. Google appears to have identified this as a problem area to tackle, as Fitbit may be working on a new experimental feature that could help prepare you for your doctor’s visit.
Fitbit v4.57 includes code for a new Fitbit Labs feature, internally referred to as “Plan for Care,” “Care Advocate,” or “Pre-visit Lab.” From what we could gather from the strings, this is an experimental, research-based feature designed to act as a bridge between a patient’s symptoms and their next doctor’s visit.
